UEFA Cup: Klose, Ranđelović combine to sink Red Star

This article is good and says it all. Very hard luck to concede the goal in the dying seconds and I think that Randjelovic the goalie was unsighted as the free kick was coming in for Bayern's third goal and missed it because of that. He won't sleep well for a few weeks.

Just wanted to say that the choreography at the start was fantastic and that the fans were a credit to Serbian football, with virtually non-stop singing and chanting and jumping around, and so on. Superb support. Also, credit to the 800 or so Bayern fans who turned up. I hope that UEFA watched the spectacle and recognize that the sterile atmosphere at so many Champions League games is because every year it is nearly always the same teams in that competition and most of them aren't even reigning Champions, and they take places away from teams that are actual Champions. I hope that UEFA - and Bayern fans when they return home - will speak of how the atmosphere for this game was great and how this UEFA Cup fixture beat most other recent Champions League games for ambiance. Both goals for Zvezda were good, too.

Finally, funniest moment for me - I watched the match on ZDF channel, a German broadcaster who showed it on satellite, and the German commentator jumped with initial shock as some debris from the choreography landed near him and he seemed amazed that some roll of paper or something had reached him from the distant fans! If German viewers - or UEFA - wonder why the Champions League matches aren't this good, it is because the Champions League format is stale and clubs are in it for the money and they protect their own interests over multiple entries per country. If UEFA wants TV spectacles like this on a regular basis, they should revise the Champions League format to allow real Champions in.
